Unconstrained motion in hamiltonian mechanics
Hello everyone, I am currently working on a bar-linkage simulation and decided to use multibody dynamics to try to perform this analysis. So basically everything seems simple and clear for examples such as double-pendulums or 4-bar linkages. And i obtain the lagrangian equations or hamiltonian...- dvisacker

Rigid-body only FEM
Hi everyone, I am currently trying to program a MATLAB FEA code that would only take into account large rigid body deformations (no strains, no stress, I might implement this later) for bar linkages (will also head toward beams and more complicated elements later) and the trouble I have is...- dvisacker
